ncm-diskless_server

• Have the possibility to overwrite the dhcp template (and be able to provide it in the server template).
• Have the possibility to provide an home-made image and not run the redhat pxe tools
• Have a longer timeout in aii_dhcp_config (perhaps also in other places). The actual one (20 s) was to small : this made nearly empty dhcpd.conf.
• 0.0.10 does not work at all :

• Modifications done for 0.0.10 does not work, at least under SLC4 :
